iB Language Classes

1. Read a lot to increase your vocabulary. If you are strong on words, you can sing a language. You can subscribe to online sites like dictionary.com, awad.com and use them at possible occasions. You tend to use a lot of fillers because you stumble and is in the search for proper words. A strong vocabulary and you need not look back. 2. Start writing. That's another form of your speech. If you can write well, you can speak efficiently. The vocabulary you collect along the way is useless if you do not use it every day. Try to keep a journal and write in it regularly, if you do not have the habit or passion to write essays or stories. 3. Listen to international news channels like BBC, watch English movies (first with sub titles, then reduce them slowly) and TV serials. When you listen, you get to pick up the pronunciation, idioms, phrases and the slang. This is in addition to your exposure to vocabulary. 4. Speak in English in all the opportunities you can get. Practice speaking to yourself initially to gain confidence. You can try to speak in front of a mirror. If you have friends who can join you, you can do the exercise where you are given a topic, impromptu, and have to speak upon it for a minute or two. While you are speaking, ask your friend to note down and count your fillers.
